What Bill did is one of the reasons that anyone who 3D prints functional parts should learn at least the basics of casting. Print it in what prints best and reproduce it in a material that works the best!
for some reason I was able to smash a large piece of PLA at speeds greater than 50 MPH against a piece of flat tin, and the PLA survived... The tin didn't. Wasn't even 100% infill. For those of you wondering what I was doing, I made a nose cone for a rocket I was working on, and the recovery system failed.
@@gallopinggoose6891 I left a PLA part in my car on a hot day and it softened and deformed. I tried to conduct electricity through a PLA part and there was too much resistance. I used a piece of PLA for a hinge pin, but it decided it would rather be a shear pin. For many things, what prints well also works well enough. But for when it doesn't it is good to have options. Also, Bill's resin printer doesn't print PLA.
@@andy-in-indy Well obviously a resin printer doesn't print PLA. My point is that there are situations where you can get away with just 3D printing something, and not having a need to cast it.
It's very thrilling for a space enthusiast and maker to see so many makers involved in acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. I was nine and watched it live. Props to Bill (pun intended) and Joel!!!
That so so awesome Joel, that is an awesome thing to be able to a part of. That is a really cool project and something that I think that you and Bill should be honored to be a part of. I also think that you did an awesome job and that you wont let Adam down.
There's also going to be issues with some of the more 'artsy' contributions doing things like combining two components that are supposed to be adjustable or movable into one solid part, like the gas or spring cylinders on the hinges. I've seen another part, one of the latch linkage rods that connect them all to the one handle, made with clear 3D printing to the drawing dimension but then some pieces of sheet brass with other bits soldered on and poking out layered on, and the shaft wrapped with brass wire. The clevis on the end opposite the other with two spherical bearings (which were nicely done and functional) was supposed to be threaded but the maker made them as a smooth rod and hole. That one part is going to prevent the latch mechanism from working, if it even fits with the spherical bearing end out of dimensional tolerance. Likely won't fit the two clevis ends that are supposed to connect to it. Wasn't the commission to make the parts *the same dimensions as the originals* while leaving choice of material up to the maker?
@@troglokev and the verdict is in. People not following the directions caused several problems with the build. The hinges broke. The porthole surround was too small, and more.

Great Project Joel, and cool to see that 3d Printing was chosen as part of the project challenge. Keep up the great content and regards to Video editor extraordinaire Sean !
All of them are, go to the Project Egress article on the Tested website and there's a link. However, be warned there are dozens (hundreds?) of STL files! They're well organised though. I'm tempted to print just this latch too, it's pretty cool 😁
I wonder whether this would work better for a pressure vessel than screw threads or other types of latches. Hey, since Adam's always got plenty of blast shields around, maybe you should ask him to test that! It WOULD be in keeping with the spirit of the project... ;-)
Good video as always note for Sean! Lately there are a few glitches in the videos (here you can see one at 7:13) You may want look into what causing it (RUclips itself, the rendering process etc.)
@@3DPrintingNerd I know but I wondered as you probably have some PVA at home wouldnt it be easier and better to print this with PVA supports or at least the interface layers to make supports easier to remove?
the real challenge would be machining this assembly before cnc let alone 5axis. Extreme amount of labor hours would go into a part like this. I guess each assembly would cost about as much as a car.

Are there multiple of these latches? This looks very similar to the one Franlab is making. Edit: Just checked, it appears there's quite a few of these on the hatch.
Looks like 15 latches, all connected by rods with adjustable threaded ends. A single lever actuates all of the latches. The hatch then pops out a bit for clearance then swings to the side. It's a design born from the Apollo 1 fire. That hatch opened inward and required multiple operations to open. Even if the astronauts had been able to undog the hatch it would've been impossible to open because the heat of the fire raised the pressure inside the capsule. Then there was the outer hatch to deal with. Finally, there was the 3rd hatch layer in the Boost Protective Cover (jettisoned with the launch escape tower) which was open during the test. With three men dead in 17 seconds, the rest of the astronauts insisted the hatch had to be redesigned to be opened easily and very quickly. www.engineering.com/Blogs/tabid/3207/ArticleID/67/categoryId/7/Apollo-1.aspx
Yes, the hatch looks like that of an autoclave sterilizer, to keep the pressure inside. Except that a sterilizer usually has a wheel that is screwed shut, this door and it's latches opens instantly.
What 3d printer would you recommend for a person doing bronze lost wax sculpting that would of course be able to use casting friendly type plastic I read about yet isn't to hard for a new be to use
Depend of $$$ you have. You can buy cheap like anet go a little bit more expensive like tevo etc , buy prusa or just make one. I like to make one becouse i can use high guality parts like cnc linear rails , 32bit controller , stepsticks , motors etc and buy it the way i want (the best printers use bed only in z axis ,it is simple to build nd save you a lot of space in comparsion to prusa etc. My printer is 450x600x470mm (yes 45x60x47cm) print space and frame outside is 600x900x800mm :)
That was a great show and I love the teamwork there. Do you think that the print files may be released so that we could all print out a piece of the APLO and celebrate along as well?
these are the lugs that hold the door closed... the place where the load is absolutely at its highest point and is concentrated to an almost hilarious degree.
I had thought about it, but annealing gives a usual 2% shrink or so, and being a part of a larger project I didn’t want to chance it not fitting right.
Hey Joel. I finally bought some of your high five blue. I had a question about what temp you have to run it at. I ran it at 210 at first and had terrible layer bond. Had to bump it up to 225 to get it to stick together well. Is this normal?
It depends on the machine and the extruder and the nozzle. I’ve printed it anywhere from 201c to 240c. Printing it at 225c shouldn’t be an issue if it looks okay.
Joel, Having seen the real latches many times, I think yours is about 2.5x too small. You have assumed that the STL files are in mm, but I bet they are in inches. You might want to double check.
I can confirm that the STL files I made for this were in mm, not inches. The original parts were all imperial, but I chose to use mm to model the parts since I was measuring scan data from the Smithsonian.

@@3DPrintingNerd It would be great to see you build a Voron1, Voron2, Railcore, or even a HEVO. There are many Build/Source-It-Yourself options that don't seem to get enough love from RUclipsrs.

All that being said, Thanks for responding to this. It came out a bit harsh, but I would very much like to see more printers represented.
I’m doing my best to get through my queue. I have a LOT of machines still in boxes. The Funmat is amazing at ABS, SO GOOD. I need to get my video on that filmed before I install the high temp hot end. I would LOVE to build one of those machines but I haven’t had the time or the right space for it. I did feature the Railcore on the channel and people loved it.
@@3DPrintingNerd Not sure how I missed the Railcore video. If/when you have the time, I know of at least a half dozen Voron2 printers in the Seattle area. I'm sure someone would let you borrow one for a video
Yep, you guys are 21st Century Geeks....(I mean that in a good way).... but remember....those latches were 'designed' with many engineering requirements .....force, material, weight constraints, ... and above all the NEED to keep human lives safe... the reason for this 'project' is in remembrance of ALL those American workers, engineers and astronauts (that put their lives on the line)...that had extreme ingenuity, and fortitude to complete what was needed, not knowing if it would work correctly or not. You should have a humble view of working on this project, and the meaning of it....
Nice work. Fifty years out, with new tech and makers of this skill level, instead of building a replica, why not try to design and make a *better* hatch for, say, the same spacecraft opening? Fewer parts, more reliable seal, easier-faster to assemble, lighter, stronger, more robust, lower cost?
Okay honest question - 3D printing is fun and cool and “modern”, but why the heck are we building replica spaceship parts out of $20 rolls of cheap plastic? This should be CNC machines out of billet aluminum at minimum, magnesium or even titanium (which technically can be 3D printer now) at best. Or are we accepting that this “Project Egress” is basically just a toy?
Honest answer - I don’t get it. Project Egress project is an art project. I used 3d printing because, well, you’ve seen the channel name yeah? Others killed, or used wood, or use resin.
I'm always let down when I watch joels content, I expect so much more from him and get minimum effort, minimum research, just whatever the minimum is to make the video.
I’m always let down when I read a comment like this. This wasn’t minimum, and I had an amazing time with a dear friend of mine assembling something for Adam Savage. I don’t know how this could be construed as minimum by any stretch of the imagination. I highly suggest if my content isn’t what you want, to perhaps not watch it?
@@3DPrintingNerd I was wondering if you would read my comment, I didn't mean to come across so negative. It's just that when I click on one of your videos I expect something educational or informative but am let down when is mostly commentary. like in this video, yes you obviously had a great time. But you also only 3d printed the parts, you didn't look at the assembly and asked a friend for how to do the hardware. you are not really adding to the project in any original way. Either way Im sorry if this ruined your day, you're still an awesome person and please keep making.
@@ConnorWeller I fully understand, and thanks for clarifying. I'm always trying to have fun and showcase cool stuff to an awesome audience. Not everything can be a tutorial, but I try to be informative in all videos. Did you find value in any of the recent videos here such as the SciFi lamp shade, painting and finishing Shazam, making the chess set and chess board? Are those more your style? I won't lie - I'm going to have more videos like this on the channel, but, I'm also going to have plenty more videos like those I just mentioned. I hope you have a rad day.

Or are we accepting that this “Project Egress” is basically just a toy?

Honest answer - I don’t get it. Project Egress project is an art project. I used 3d printing because, well, you’ve seen the channel name yeah? Others killed, or used wood, or use resin.
killed? hahahha stupid autocorrect. others MILLED.

I'm always let down when I watch joels content, I expect so much more from him and get minimum effort, minimum research, just whatever the minimum is to make the video.
I’m always let down when I read a comment like this. This wasn’t minimum, and I had an amazing time with a dear friend of mine assembling something for Adam Savage. I don’t know how this could be construed as minimum by any stretch of the imagination. I highly suggest if my content isn’t what you want, to perhaps not watch it?
@@3DPrintingNerd I was wondering if you would read my comment, I didn't mean to come across so negative. It's just that when I click on one of your videos I expect something educational or informative but am let down when is mostly commentary. like in this video, yes you obviously had a great time. But you also only 3d printed the parts, you didn't look at the assembly and asked a friend for how to do the hardware. you are not really adding to the project in any original way. Either way Im sorry if this ruined your day, you're still an awesome person and please keep making.
@@ConnorWeller I fully understand, and thanks for clarifying. I'm always trying to have fun and showcase cool stuff to an awesome audience. Not everything can be a tutorial, but I try to be informative in all videos. Did you find value in any of the recent videos here such as the SciFi lamp shade, painting and finishing Shazam, making the chess set and chess board? Are those more your style? I won't lie - I'm going to have more videos like this on the channel, but, I'm also going to have plenty more videos like those I just mentioned. I hope you have a rad day.
Let's see you do it @ConnorMakes
